History

St Peter at Gowts' Church St Peter at Gowt Church, Lincoln.jpg
St Peter at Gowts' Church

The church dates from the 11th century. The north aisle and porch were built in 1852 to designs of William Adams Nicholson. The chancel was enlarged in 1887 by C. Hodgson Fowler. A hanging rood was installed in 1920 by Temple Lushington Moore. [1] [3]

In 1968 the Victorian St Andrew's Church, Lincoln was closed and demolished and in 1980 the parish was renamed St Peter at Gowts and St Andrew. [3]

Bells

The bells date from 1872 by the London founders Mears and Stainbank. [3] There are currently restrictions on both practice and ringing, [4] however the university bell ringing society does ring there on occasion.

Organ

The first organ recorded was already in place in 1872, and built by T. H. Nicholson. That was replaced by a different organ, a Bevington, that was moved in 1900 to Tattershall.

In the 1920s a second-hand organ by Nicholson of Worcester was obtained from a private house. In 1949 it was replaced with another organ by Nicholson of Worcester. This had previously been installed at All Souls' Church, Aylestone Road, Leicester. This later instrument retains some parts of the 1920s device. [5] [3]

Among the places of worship in the town and area of Malvern, Worcestershire are centres of dedication to many faiths and denominations. The town has 31 Christian churches with 11 belonging to the Church of England, ranging from low church to high Anglo-Catholic, two Roman Catholic, one Evangelical, and the others being Non-Conformist and other faiths. Its oldest place of worship is the almost cathedral sized parish church of Great Malvern Priory which is all that remains of the former 10th century abbey in central Malvern, which according to the Worcester Monastic Annals, work began in 1085. The chain of Malvern Hills lies in a north-south direction, thus posing a challenge for the architects of Christian churches located on the steep slopes, chancels being traditionally sited at the east end of the building. Many churches were built in the 19th century concomitant with the rapid expansion of the town due to its popularity as a spa. A few modern buildings such as St Mary's Church (1960) in Sherrard's Green, have been constructed in the second half of the 20th century, and some churches, notably St Andrews in Poolbrook, have had important modern extensions added during the first decade of the 21st century.
